Given the amazing run that MVP Phoenix and Fnatic had at the Shanghai Major, Epicenter had decided to merge the CIS open qualifiers with the European ones and extend the competition for the SEA region as well. The open qualifiers are set to start tomorrow, 9th of March for Europe + CIS and SEA while the US teams will compete starting the next day, March 10.
Held via FACEIT, the open qualifiers will start in less than 24 hours and will not allow the teams that already registered with a roster to use stand ins. So make sure all your teammates are available on the date and time set for the games and register your team by following the links below:
